#AppleTurnsTen: ‘If you don’t have an Iphone, you don’t have an Iphone’ How this Smartphone revolutionised the world!
Apple today is a brand synonymous with class and prestige all over the world. But then, while the brand is one of the most well-known household names, not many are aware of it’ turbulent history. it might not be wrong to say that Apple today, attributes all its success to that one iconic device, which changed its fortunes and also the way the world used phones forever – the iPhone.
Steve Jobs was a visionary and it was his vision that gave the world the brilliance called the iPhone. While iPhone was not exactly the first smartphone or even the first touch-screen device, it ushered in an era of change and showed the world just how advanced gadgets could be. With the unveiling of the iPhone came a trend in the smartphone era which has not ended to date and which continues – that of bringing the future to the present.
The iPhone truly ushered in a smartphone era and it brought to the world a device which was earlier only dreamed of. iPhone, during it’s launch in 2007 was a one of a kind device and though Steve Jobs only announced the phone on 9th January 2007 as it was launched months later in the second half of 2007, it sparked an interest and people have since then been awaiting the next generation of the iPhone with bated breath. It was on 9th January 2007 that the tradition of standing in queues outside Apple stores for the latest iPhone was set!
